[Verse 1]

Off to boarding school in upstate

Walk to my dorm room, meet my roommate

The autumn leaves begin to turn

And the air is no longer warm

I put on my sweatshirt

I walk through the library

And see your face

There you were

There you were at my high school

All the girls are in the common room

Blushing over the boys, who are all so new

My roommate points out the next girls crush

She complains about how boys aren’t enough

She’s already slept around so much

We all admire her shamelessness

I begin to wander off

And there you are

There we were

Stealing glances in the dining hall

And there I was thinking of how

She confirmed what I’ve heard so much about

[Chorus]

When I daydream of a love

I see you there

There you are and there I am

There, there, there in this love that I dream of

I see you there

There you are and there I am

There, there, there

[Verse 2]

How can you have a body count

So high when I sit here so shy?

I ask, she replied

“Once I’d done it the first time

I’d given up the stress

There’s other things I like and Im good at

But if the guy i’d lust over put his gaze on me

I’d want that affinity

Sometimes it feels dirty

But the good ones give it to you right

As if they’re saying there

There you are and

Here I am,”

My eyes burst with fascination

I wanna go there is this boy

I’ve got my sights on

“Ok so first flash your eyes

And then he’ll stare”

He peaks up from his book

He sat next to me

I know he knows how many seats are open

But the one beside me is the one he’d chosen

“It’s a rose gold feeling

But it always brings decay

Because a rose thats born from pain

Will only become wilted

And when its over all your left with

Is his or her own disappointment,”

I guess she were sad you could say

And she thought for me

It would be another sure ending

But thats all in my head because

[Chorus]

When I daydream of a love

I see you there

There you are and there I am

There, there, there in this love that I dream of

I see you there

There you are and there I am

There, there, there

[Bridge]

The trees go from green to red

My face goes pink from the things he’s said

He likes the way i look with my eyes on him

As we walk off the campus

There’s so many acres of woodland

And we get lost in them

Oh and we pretend like we don’t know

Whats about to happen

We’ve got the same set of headphones

That we hear

And we go over, add up all the time

That we’ve stolen

And the conversations thats brought us here

So I’ve daydreamed enough

“Then by November he’ll move his hands up the buttons on your sweater”

We are off the campus

Where I know the romance is

His hands are on my cardigan

He pins me to a tree

Like he’s saying “There”

Like he’s saying “There”

Like he’s saying “There”

There you are and here I am

In your sweatshirt

In my black skirt

Your face against mine

And it didn’t hurt, it felt just right

Like you were just mine

Then the bell rang

We better hurry

See you for dinner

Walk to the main building

Me and my roommate sit in the dorm room

She said she’d never been

With a guy like with the feelings

She was so sure there would be a sure ending

But I was never so sure that

This was just the beginning cause

[Outro]

I daydreamed this love before it went like so

You gaze at my forest eyes

You like how I wear your shirt

Though its oversized

You got a car, we go for a ride

The road with woods on either side

Where romance dances among the pines

I wish you were my first time

All the buildings are brick

All the candles are lit

In the library on the couch

Drinking cider over chatter

There we were and there you are

And there I am

There, there, there

And there we were and there I was

And there you were

There in the love that I wanted

There we are, just like so
